On February 24th, 1997, a friend of mine told me she was addicted to Taipei. I felt that game just didn't cut the mustard, so I told her I could program something better in less than a week. It took me 4 days to make a working prototype , and just a week to release a first playable version on March 1st. Kyodai Mahjongg was born. And it never died. There is nothing more comforting for me than looking back over the last 10 years and realize how much I've been able to achieve in my quest for the perfect Mahjongg Solitaire game. And what can you improve in a game that is already perfect? Not much. A huge community loves it just like it is.Share your ideas with us!(And stop with the smilies, Nao! )

I started out being somewhat addicted to Taipei myself but thought it could be so much better than it was. So I eventually tried a lot of Mah Jongg solitaire games over the years, and KMJ is easily the best.

Now if only KMJ allowed seven layers of tiles so I could play the standard Taipei layout!!!

I went hunting for a customizing replacement to Shanghai back in March of 2001, stumbled across Marc Lesselberg's site & Kyodai at the same time. Long story short...made my first tileset (Beermats) in the same month, and then went nuts making many more!

I put in a shameless plug for KMJ on my Live Journal blog. Yes, oh yes, I did! Hey, when you have a good thing, you tell everyone, right?

One of my friends liked what she saw and said it's the prettiest setup she's ever seen of mahjongg. Alas, she has a Mac, so the files are not compatible. Bummer. She needs a "real" computer so she can buy KMJ!

Congratulations Nao for excellent work all these years. Here's to many more years to come

Nao, couldn't Boosters friend use a Windows emulator to run KMJ on her Mac?
